Do we need a(n) international transformation? I think we do.?
Do we need a(n) international transformation? I think we do. There are too many nations in this world and too many large nation, and the not so large nations to the largest nations are to large and powerful. Andorra proves my point that large nations are unnecessary. Andorrans, and Spaniards and French who know of your neighbour I speak of can speak about it. Most people who know nothing about Andorra probably have no clue it exists. And its a great place to hide your money. They've no taxes and universal healthcare available to citizens and residents. A large nation could never do that. they pose no threat to the world and the world obviously poses no threat to them, Andorra has existed for over 700 years in its present state. And Andorra is also one of the several great defenses for monarchy being the greatest form of government. Blame Rome for the current quagmire the world is in, that of being large powerful nations and empires being a good thing. T'aint so! The world wars and cold wars prove this. The large nations need to go! We are a world of several large nations and a few that enforce their will on the rest and want it all for themselves. We need to instead be a world of millions of smaller nations. I guess certain cities like London, Tokyo, and Mexico City will have to be nations. With freedom of movement of people and capital. Every political system will be allowed to flourish. Monarchy, anarchy, Communism of every variety, socialism of every variety, will all flourish. Not every political system will work for or be to the liking of every person. And that can never be expected. If on nation is not to your liking, move to one that is. Every nation will flourish because everyone who lives there will make it so. In our current world, the economic systems of capitalism and communism do not work, and of course, that is why neither capitalism nor communism truly exist, neither can truly exist. Let places like Cuba and North Korea make communism work in such a world and they would, splendidly. And if you don't like it, there is a whole world and many parts of it that you will like. And the threat of war will be minimized since no nation would be large or powerful enough to pose a threat, and when one did, it would be more easily dealt with. Or just let them have their tiny piece of the world, and sooner or later their aggressiveness will go out of style. Utopia would exist. If a place isn't a utopia more to one that is, since utopia is subjective. Though, how do we get to this world. We will probably have to put up with squabbling arrogant giants before we reach it. The squabbling giants will be annoying nuisances. Even the largest superpowers like the US and the UK which has mellowed out lately, control a still small minority of the world, they just make the loudest noise. Btw, how do I ad a photo to my profile?

I agree your idea of a world with a lot of small nations because it would give people more freedom in choosing what kind of government they want most. I think that as time goes on, either large nations will start to break up or they will have a lot less influence than they do now. People identify with nations a lot more when there's a lot of international strife in the world because they see them as a source of strength, but I don't think nations as they exist today will last forever. Anyway... I think you can add a photo by getting a yahoo 360 account and uploading photos into it.

A notebook bought in Andorra will still work in the US but you have to use an adapter and voltage converter. Electricity plug is type C or F, voltage is 230 V at 50 Hz. frequency. You will also notice a different notebook keyboard layout.
